SYDNEY DILLON QUESTIONED.
He Grows FESTIVE and Hot Before the Pa
cisic Railways Commission.

CHIC railways tDnitnlssIOH.
NEW YORK, May 6-Sydney Dillon gave
testimony before the Pacific railways commits
sion Thursday in regard to the finances of the
Union Pacific Railroad company, of which he
was formerly president, and is still leading
stakeholder. He grew FESTIVE under the
searching questions of Commissioner Ander-
son in regard to the relations of the Union
Pacific to its branch lines In several in
stances he pleaded lack of memory in refer
ence to entries on the company's books
Finally he asked permission to make state
ment which he was granted He then made
quite a speech, defending the policy of throw
ing out branch lines rs feeders, and claiming
that he originated it. He said that policy
had caused an original outlay of 5000, 900,
but had soon vindicated itself by adding S.
ON, 900 year to the revenues of the company.
His successor had adopted the poor policy
of paying of the $S.0D,UO debt with the
profits Of the branch lines MIR. Dillon would
have devoted half those earnings to that pur-
pose, and the other half to extending the
branches The Union Pacific would have be-
come bankrupt hut for the branch lines The
government had sold lands along the feeders,
and profte-l out of what it hal forbidden the
company to do He declared that the investi
cation was going to benefit the Union Pacific
Commissioner Anderson wanted Mr. Dillon
to explain why it was that after the epnsoli-
daij"n Of the Union Pacific, Denver Pacific.
and Kansas Pacific in 1878 the ~, S96 shares
OF Denver Pacific held ly Mr. Dillon as trustee,
or their equivalent &. aS'i, 900, did not appear
on the Union Pacific balance sheet
The witness could not explain, but became
somewhat excited and SAID hutly, No man
connected with the Union Pacific ever re-
ceived "a dollar of that stock" He admitted
that the consolidation added 5000, 900 to the
value of the Denver Pacific securities within

Too Neat.

Miss Gordon Cumming reports some
of the "acute and pithy remarks" OF
the native Christian teachers at the
Samoan Islands. Among the rest is q
trait Of the crabs of the island, which
was brought forward as an illustration
Of the commandment to cut off right
hand or right foot, or to pluck out
a right eye, rather than to be led into
sin.
One of the teachers told how often
he had watched the mali'o, or land
crab, which by day burrows deep in
soil, but by night hurries down to the
sea to feed and drink.
It is a wOnderous clearly creature,
and the Samoans declare that if on its
seward way, as it presses through
the tall grass, 1t should chance to come
in contact with any filth, which adheres
to its legs, it will deliberately wrench
them off, and thus, self-mutilated,
hobbies back to its hole, there to hide
till its legs grow again.
1t is positively affirmed that this
extraordinary crab has been known
thus to wrench off it's eight legs in
succession, and then drag itself home
with the greatest difficulty by means OF
its nippers.
I must confess that it would have
shown more common sense had it
gone to the sea or the nearest stream
and washed its dirty limbs; but it must
be allowed that the illustration is an
apt one.- Youths Companion.

Some Flogging Customs.

The Bavarian government has just
issued directions that no child in any
school shall be punished, except by
rod, and two sizes are prescribed, as
also the number and dimensions of the
two twigs, reminding one of the time
when In the deeds of many schools in
England 300 years ago it was laid down
that every scholar 'sshall give two
pence to poor scholar appointed by
the master to provide rods" 1T is only
quite of late years that the charge at
Eton.for a birch Of half a guinea in
every boys bill had ceased to be made;
and the present provost whep appoint-
ed head master was presented by the
captain of the school with a birch rod
tied up with blue ribbon. The Elton
rod consists Of three long twigs with
out branches bound with string for
about quarter Of their length. The
instrument used at Winchester, which
has not been altered since 1887, is
formed of four apple twigs inserted in
wooden handle. -Four cuts are
called ssscrubbingn and six cuts a
"bibling," because in former days
when boy was "sent up for six" he
was introduced to the head master by
the bible clerk. Pail Mall Gazette.

The Portrait Of Christ.

VIM. II. Ingersoll. In the American
Magazine for December: On the damp
and gloomy. walls Of the oatAcombs OF
sepulturs and worship, In the monu-
ments OF the primitive Christian
church, on the portals and In the apses
Of ancient byzantine basilicas, in stately
cathedrals of the middle ages, in the
proud galleries of the worlds art, and
even on the humble walls OF the lowli-
est homes, or in the cherished books OF
the poor. that strange and wonderful
face arrests the mind with celestial
thought, and charms the imagination
with the hope that we may hereafter
see Him as He is.
Whether depicted in the coarse. rude
lines Of the earliest sketches, or in the
finished touches of the masters skill;
whether sad and painful with divine
and human sorrow, or glorious in
heavenly triumph, the same face is al.
ways represented. The whole of
Christendom is enriched by these me-
MORALS of divine visitation.
With endless variations of Inca.
ments and expression, there has al
ways been preserved a faithful adhe-
I hence to the general type of some an
Aaent ideal. In the midst of classic art,
tkAakh about the period Of its decline,
there suddenly appeared the image OF
a strange, but complete personality,
differing from all pagan ideals. It was
the Christ! He had come into the
world, and lived and labored among
men who cherished his memory; and
they desired to leave to the ages to
come some pictured reminder of His
human semblance.

The constitution provides that the presi-

Compliance with this provision, to annually
exhibit to tbs congress, at the opening OF
its session, tho general condition of the

A Cabinet Makers Luck.

Some men are born rich, some ae
quire riches and others have riches
thrust upon them. TO the latter for.
tunate class belongs Mr.. Charles A.
johnson, who resides at ST5 W. Ohio
street, Chicago, and who was the lucky
holder of one-tenth of ticket No. 3,646
which drew the first capital prize Of
$3.50, geo in 9he October 18th drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery com.
panY.
A Tfavelsr reporter, hearing Of the
good fortunes called upon Mr., johnson
good fortune, called upon Mr.. johnson
to congratulate him and hear from his
own lips the story of his profitable
investment. He found Mr.. johnson, a
very intelligent young Swede, twenty.
seven years Ut age, cabinet-maker by
occupation, who, six years ago came
to America and found employment at
his trade in Chicago. Being of sober.
frugal and Industrious habits, his wa
ges were sufficient to MAINTAIN him
comfortably, but would not permit OF
much to be laid aside for a rainy day.
Having three times before purchased
tickets IN the lottery aud drawn moth
ing, his joyful surprise may be mag
ined when he found that his last invest
ment of one dollar had brought him a
turn of $4,000. The money was re.
ceived by Mr.. johnson through the
American Express Company on Octo-
per 81, just ten days after the drawing,
and is now deposited to his credit 10
one of the banks of the
city. When questioned regarding the
use to which he would put his for
tune, Mr.. johnson said: 81 shall re.
main in Chicago ard at once build a
comfortable house, furnish it elegantly
and marry the young lady to whom ]
have for some time been betrothed.
For the present I shall continue at my
trade, and later may engage in bust
ness for myself" Mr.. johnson is
pleased with the promptness with
which the Lottery Company forwarded
the amount of his prize, and especially
is he delighted that he can now marry
and maintain in comfort the lady of his
choice. He is sensible as well as q
fortunate young man and will, without
doubt, make good use of his suddenly
acquired wealth.-Chicago, Arkansaw

WASHINGTON, Dec. Tin the senate this
